I offer this ONLY as a guide, you should make a pattern and compare for yourself. I've used a Carquest # 21285, it's a Gates hose so may be the same number.
I use a piece of wire as a pattern, something like a length of coat hanger. I bend it to the desired shape then go to the parts store and they turn me loose on the wall of hoses. Usually I have to find the shape I want within the length of some hose. So the one I gave above, for example, needed to be shortened to fit. Sorry, can't remember for sure, but I think I took the appropriate amount off each end, and trimmed the inner spring as needed (and you really want to keep the spring).Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
